Although the plane had nothing to do with the flight school it would be very unwelcome advertising if you asked me.

Looks like it was quite a doink there as the engine is sheared clean off the firewall !

Supprising the guy survived it.

heym GR, isn't that your hat there next to the plane?

GoldenRivet · 09-28-09, 12:07 PM

i believe that he turned at the last minute to avoid a truck.

i could be thinking of another accident report though

Story says he was shooting T&G's when the engine quit on him. Couldent get it restarted and parked it in a tree /shrug.

there is only a couple of places in the traffic pattern that in the event of an engine failure you couldn't make it back to the runway.

on the upwind leg on initial climb is one of them - at least for the first 80% of the leg.

thats probably where he was when the fan quit.

And that is why I'm flying gliders.

(landing outside the airfield is normal for us)
